WELL THAT’S NEW: SIGNS YOU MAY HAVE AN STI
Unfortunately, we all make mistake some bigger than others. It’s important to seek help and even more important to seek help that is comfortable to you. This happened to me about 2 days after hooking up with this guy at a party. Why did this happen to me, I’m not the only one who hooks up, why am I the only one to catch something? We didn’t use protection because I’m on the pill, but I didn’t know what to do. I couldn’t go to the doctor because my parents would have seen why I went there, I couldn’t let them know about this. So, what do I do now? I want to take care of my body, but I don’t know how I can do that.
